湖南小景淳有才學，曾著無縫塔銘，大通本禪師用其語，答無縫塔話云：「煙霞生背面，星月遶簷楹。」淳居嶽麓寺，律身精進，偶一夜經行殿陛失脚被攧，傍僧掖起，昏懵不曉人事，至於平生所著文字，亦不能曉。兜率照禪師，初遊方過嶽麓，聞老宿言淳事，照驚曰：「我此生參禪不明心地亦如淳也，偶一失跌尚如此，況隔陰耶。」

> Little Jingchun of Hunan possessed talent and learning and had once composed an inscription on the seamless stupa. Chan Master Datong Ben used his words to answer the topic of the seamless stupa, saying, "Mist and clouds arise on the back; / Stars and moon encircle the eaves and beams." Chun resided at Yuelu Temple, strict in bodily discipline and diligent. One night, while circumambulating on the hall's steps, he slipped and suffered a fall. A monk beside him helped him up; he was in a daze and unaware of human affairs, and as for the writings he had composed in his lifetime, he could no longer understand them either. When Chan Master Doushuai Zhao first wandered on pilgrimage and passed by Yuelu, he heard senior monks speak of Chun's story. Zhao was alarmed and said, "If in this life of investigating Chan I do not illuminate the mind-ground, I too will be like Chun. When a mere accidental fall leaves one like this, how much more so the transition between rebirths?"
